To say there's no sporting advantage when you sign a player that becomes player of the year, helps you win two titles, and leaves for a huge profit, is a total joke. Dread to think what they'll say about City if they get found guilty. Probably add points on...
Arsenal agreed a deal last night to sign Bruno Guimarães for a value that can reach up to 80 million pounds. Bruno Guimarães' contract signing with the London club is on his way to be made this weekend in London.[@ESPNBrasil]
No young guard has reached these heights since then. We was frying the best defense of the decade and we won a chip as the second best offensive player of the team
Between 2011 & 2018, third party entities made twelve payments totalling approximately £47.5m. These were made with the knowledge & approval of Chelsea, using funds linked to Roman Abramovich.
For Eden Hazard, Kenedy, Ramires, David Luiz, André Schürrle & Nemanja Matić, the club paid £23.1m was paid to seven unregistered agents & associates using Abramovich's funds & never reported in their filings.
With Samuel Eto’o & Willian, both signed from Anzhi Makhachkala, a company made payments totalling €24m to two British Virgin Islands registered companies, the recipients were associated with Anzhi.
Total major trophies in the period: 14
- 3x Premier League
- 3x FA Cup
- 1x League Cup
- 2x UEFA Champions League
- 2x UEFA Europa League
- 1x UEFA Super Cup
- 1x FIFA Club World Cup
In the time these breaches occurred, Chelsea's yearly annual revenue was between £261m-£445m, winning between £700m-£800m in prize money. £10m is a pathetic 'punishment', it is a rounding error.
Clubs may as well cheat if this is the slap on the wrist.
🚨 Arsenal pursuit of Vinícius Jr is a Kroenke-led project; the vision is to make him the face of Arsenal next era, the highest-paid player in club history, and the cornerstone of the project. The model mirrors KSE’s approach with Nikola Jokić in the NBA: identify a generational talent, commit fully, and build around him. Roc Nation relationship further strengthens the strategy. #AFC @PurplePanel

Taking the best LW in the world from the biggest club in global sport is and was always going to be incredibly difficult. To be seen as a viable move is an amazing story in itself. And full credit to the club for being at the table. That’s all we can ask.
I don’t want to get ahead of myself but the wording around this article (and the first bomba) feel really encouraging.
This stupid sport has me on strings but I am so ready to get hurt.

Music to my ears. We are bullying Real Madrid. Pay him what he wants or we take him from you. It’s not a negotiation. Don’t waste our time.
